21. Chapter 21
As soon as he heard this shrill woman's voice, Xiao Yanzhi knew that trouble was coming, and wanted to remind He Yan and Lian Sheng not to stop, but it was too late.
As soon as Lian Sheng heard the voice, he stopped, followed the reputation, and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "Your Highness, it's Jiang Guifei." ”
Xiao Yanzhi frowned and glanced at Lian Sheng, and said, "Who told you to stop?" ”
Lian Sheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi inexplicably.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Xiao Yanzhi sighed, and had to stand and look at Jiang Guifei, who was leading the honor guard and rushing over.
When Jiang Guifei approached, Lian Sheng immediately knelt down and bowed his hand, but He Yan just bent down and made a long gesture, Xiao Yanzhi glanced left and right, weighed it, and waited for Jiang Guifei to stop in front of him, and simply made a gesture.
"I've seen Jiang Guifei."
"Are you ......" Jiang Guifei's gaze turned on He Yan and Lian Sheng, and suddenly realized, "You are Your Highness?" ”
"Exactly." Xiao Yanzhi straightened up and smiled, "I didn't go to greet Concubine Jiang immediately after entering the palace, and I ask Concubine Guifei for forgiveness." ”
"Your Highness is polite," Wan Er smiled, and Jiang Guifei teased, "Your Highness and Your Highness have been separated from your father and son for twenty years, and this is the third day that Your Highness has entered the palace. ”
Just because she couldn't wait for Xiao Yanzhi to come to greet her, Jiang Guifei blocked here after inquiring about Xiao Yanzhi's itinerary.
After saying this, Jiang Guifei raised her hand and signaled that He Yan and Lian Sheng could get up.
Jiang Guifei laughed. Xiao Yanzhi's smile was a little embarrassed, "It's that Yanzhi hasn't figured out the rules of the palace yet, and he doesn't dare to walk around casually, if he doesn't want to go to General Jiang at this time, he won't dare to step into the harem lightly." ”
Concubine Jiang Guifei blinked and asked suspiciously: "General Jiang that His Highness said is Jiang Shan, a loyal general?" The concubine remembered that His Majesty had arranged for him to teach His Highness the art of martial arts and war in Shen, why did His Highness come here at this time? ”
Xiao Yanzhi said with annoyance on his face: "I used to listen to people lecturing in the Hongwen Pavilion, and I forgot the time when I listened to it, although it was too late, but I still wanted to compensate the general in person." ”
"Your Highness has a heart," Jiang Guifei nodded with a smile, and said, "But the concubine's younger brother has always been punctual, and if he can't wait for His Highness to be afraid that he has already left, His Highness should not be busy going over, and the concubine will send him a message to say." ”
"Jiang Guifei's younger brother?" Xiao Yanzhi found out that Jiang Guifei and the loyal general Jiang Shan were not both surnamed Jiang.
Concubine Jiang Guifei smiled brightly and said: "Don't worry about his affairs, the concubine has always wanted to have a good chat with His Highness, but because she has no chance, it is rare to meet by chance today, I wonder if Your Highness can appreciate it?" ”
"This ......" Xiao Yanzhi was a little embarrassed, "not very good?" ”
He really didn't want to be alone with this woman, let alone what else was there to talk about between them?
"What's so bad about that?" Jiang Guifei was amused by Xiao Yanzhi's expression, "Your Royal Highness can also call a concubine, if you want to chat a few words between this mother and son, who can say anything?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi laughed dryly.
This is the first time they have met, and it is impossible to even love mother and son, how did they become mother and son?
Jiang Guifei said again: "It's almost the time for Shan'er and them to come to say hello, Your Highness should accompany the concubine to pass the time, how about going to Wangyun Pavilion to sit for a while?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi followed Jiang Guifei's line of sight and looked at the Wangyun Pavilion on the west side of the West Sea, and said politely: "Thank you Jiang Guifei for not giving up, Jiang Guifei please." ”
Xiao Yanzhi is basically a very personable person, maybe it was the family education in his previous life that allowed him to maintain a good upbringing, or maybe it was the habit of taking care of his younger siblings in this life, Xiao Yanzhi is very good at taking care of people, especially for women, Xiao Junmeng calls this demeanor frivolous, Xiao Yanzhi is also very troubled by his unconscious behavior, after all, he likes men, and it is really not a happy thing to be entangled by women because of this.
I have reflected many times, but this habit is still the same, even when I am by Jiang Guifei's side at this time, Xiao Yanzhi can still be considerate, whenever there are any stumbles on the road, Xiao Yanzhi will remind him, and when he walked to the water's edge, he also took the initiative to walk on the side close to the water, blocking Jiang Guifei on the safe side.
Jiang Guifei didn't feel anything at first, but along the way, Jiang Guifei suddenly had a feeling of being carefully cared for at a certain moment, and this feeling she only felt in the year when she first met the emperor, and for more than ten years after that, the emperor's care was given to other women, and his son was still a child, and he didn't care for a woman's character at all.
Finally sat down in the Wangyun Pavilion, Jiang Guifei looked at Xiao Yanzhi and sighed: "Father and son are father and son, even if they have been separated for twenty years, they are still so similar." ”
Xiao Yan was stunned, laughing but not speaking.
Resemble? Do you mean that he is like the emperor?
Jiang Guifei said again: "The concubine has never seen the first queen, but judging from Her Royal Highness's words and deeds, the first queen must be a gentle and considerate woman, and it is no wonder that her majesty has been thinking about it." His Majesty only told his concubine yesterday that he regretted very much that he did not take the first queen to the north back then, otherwise he would not have ended up in the eternal separation of heaven and man. ”
Xiao Yanzhi didn't quite understand where Jiang Guifei saw the gentleness and thoughtfulness, and felt annoyed when he thought about it carefully.
When he walked with Jiang Guifei just now, shouldn't he have made his old mistakes again? I really can't change anything, if I let Jun Meng see it, I will scold him again.
Xiao Yanzhi hung his head, still smiling and silent.
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi hung his head and didn't speak, Jiang Guifei frowned slightly, and said, "By the way, Your Highness has seen Lord Qin?" I heard that Lord Qin is the cousin of the former queen, and a year ago, Lord Qin reported to His Majesty that he had found His Royal Highness in Jiangnan, and His Majesty seemed to have rewarded him with a lot of things. ”
Xiao Yanzhi nodded and said, "I've seen it, these days."
Jiang Guifei sighed again and said, "It's really embarrassing for Your Highness, now that you have come to Chang'an, you can walk around with Lord Qin more, and you should have one more person to rely on, it is better than being alone." ”
"Jiang Guifei's words are wrong," Xiao Yanzhi immediately retorted, "Now that my father and younger brothers are by my side, and there are gentle and kind elders like Jiang Guifei who are concerned, I am not alone." ”
Jiang Guifei's face froze, and then she nodded and smiled: "What Your Highness said is that the concubine just hopes that His Royal Highness can live in Chang'an City with peace of mind, His Royal Highness has been named the King of Shu, whether he will move out of the palace sooner or later, or should he also find someone to rely on outside the palace." ”
Xiao Yanzhi said calmly: "I heard that the prince's palace is built together, if you can support each other, it can't be said that you don't have to rely on it, right?" It's just that he came from a reckless background, and I'm afraid that he will cause a lot of trouble to His Second Highness in the future. ”
Jiang Guifei's eyes flashed, and she chuckled: "Your Highness's words are too obvious, you are brothers, you should help each other, why did it become a trouble?" His Royal Highness is not familiar with the affairs of the court, although he went to Shan'er for something, Shan'er had never seen the world, and he had to rely on His Highness for help when he left the palace. ”
"I don't dare to help, but if there is anything that Jiang Guifei and His Second Highness can say, just ask." Xiao Yanzhi's words can be regarded as indicating that he will not be an enemy of Xu Lishan, but whether Jiang Guifei will take this as a polite or listen to it attentively, Xiao Yanzhi has no way of knowing.
The two were chatting in a virtual sentence, and the palace maid beside Jiang Guifei hurriedly ran to Jiang Guifei's side and whispered that the emperor was leading the two highnesses and King Wucheng to Wangyun Pavilion.
Hearing this, Jiang Guifei and Xiao Yanzhi glanced at each other, and tacitly stopped those topics that were testing each other.
